The girls are the heart and soul of our program. We have selected them for their excellent character, trainability health, and conformation. Some of our girls are 2nd, 3rd and 4rth generation handler owned, trained and bred by me. Others have been selected from the best breeders around in working lines. They have good, loving maternal instinct and behaviors. They keep their mind on their work and family. They have joyful attitudes and genius level intelligence for dogs. They love to work and be in the home. Stable around any kind of environments I take them in. Strong protective instincts and social with kids and friendly strangers. Very trustworthy and anticipatory to my needs. And a bit of a mischievous demeanor. They bring lots of love, light and joy into my life.
Munchkin is one of the happiest dogs, willing to please and ready for anything! She's a very talkative girl. She is one of our best young females on the sleeve. We hope to get cracking on titling with this amazing girl soon. Keep a watch out for what this girl will do.
Munchkin not only is she great on the sleeve she is also a cuddle bug. when she is in the bedroom at night to sleep with us she always has to have something touching her people. her head, back or feet are touching us at night. not everyone likes a snuggly dog but man that is her and we love that! She is also hilarious! the thing we constantly laugh at is her drinking water as she dunks her whole head into the bucket. she also likes to take a relaxing swim in the pond which she must share all the water with her people! She is such a funny dog that just keeps us laughing everyday.
excuse the lack of description as we slowly update the website.
Aslo excuse the photo as we get more professional photos made of our younger dogs
Nexus was taken on by our apprentice Kathy and she truly fell in love with her!
This girl really does everything Kathy as tried with her. She is the most caring service dog and will task for anyone in need. She has her 3 trick dog titles, her home manners and fast cat titles! She has tried dock diving and hopefully will compete soon. She got the hang of coursing ability tests end of May 2022 and we will be going for trials to get her first coursing ability title as these trials are far apart in availability. She would have had it sooner if she wasn't concerned about Kathy and going back to her. There's a service dog for you with caring about their handler. Kathy was having to hide behind the judge so Nexus would run the course. She is a true gem and such a happy girl! We have even seen her task for other family, friends and even strangers in need. Nexus has her home manners(VHMA) title thru AKC and she has some fun trick titles Novice, Intermediate and Advanced(TKN, TKI, and TKA). Nexus has her Farm dog certification (FDC) meaning she isn't phased by farm equipment or reactive towards farm animals. She has passed her CGCA and CGCU with flying colors and even took the test with other service dogs. These titles stand for canine good citizen, canine good citizen urban and canine good citizen advanced. Nexus has passed 2 separate tests for her fetch novice title and another 2 seperate test/judges for her intermediate fetch title. This was a very fun experience for nexus and her handler. Nexus at the time was in heat and she still did amazing with her heat brain. She is such a versatile dog which is what we strive to breed for and we are glad she was added to our program!
Nexus is super easy to live with in the home and has great listening skills. She is easy to travel with and very trustworthy in her crate to not destroy anything and doesn't grab things to pull into her crate to destroy either. She lives with other GSDs and she lives with small shetland sheepdogs aka shelties. She is worth her weight in gold to teach young dogs boundaries in a very appropriate way where she rewards young dogs with play as well as telling them it's to much. She is very gentle with everyone and everything. I have had many people that don't like GSDs or scared of them but when they meet her she wins them all over super easily. She is very respectful and empathetic which everyone notices and loves about her.
Ripper is a fun live wire of a dog. She has her TKI which is a second trick title available thru AKC. also has VHMA which is for home manners also thru AKC. She is definitely excited to start her schutzhund career and even started to say words for the sleeve. We are so pleased with her fast progress and her desire. Ripper has passed FDC which stands for farm dog certified which basically means she is unfazed by farm equipment and isn't terrible with farm animals behind a fence. She also has her CGCA and CGCU titles that are a step up from CGC. CGC stands for canine good citizen. CGCU stands for canine good citizen urban and CGCA stands for canine good citizen community which she passed with flying colors. She passed the AKC temperament test under 2 different judges to receive the title ATT. She also passed novice fetch and intermediate fetch with ease over the course of 4 tests as both titles also require 2 tests with 2 different judges. These tests are a great lead up to her BH! Ripper has now added dock dock diving to her fun skill set as a way to build drive! she has from the start thrown herself into the pool without hesitation(with authority like she'd done it her whole life) for that toy and locks onto the bumper with tracking focus for it. She earned her DS standing for dock senior title and we will see if she can get to the top of senior as we aim for a regional dock diving invite since she loves it so much in addition to her schutzhund career. We also have plans for other venues to title keep checking back for updates on this young rising star.
This girl has the most motherly instinct. She has been helping greatly with raising puppies. Now at 2 year old has now been around neonate puppies for the first time(not her puppies). She has been wanting to be involved since they were born and even lifts her leg while laying down to have pups nurse with no milk of her own. She has been very gentle with the puppies and helps with cleaning and stimulating the puppies. We think she will be the best mother one day when she has her chance.
Excuse the photo as we get more professional photos made of our younger dogs thank you!
She will be an amazing versatile dog! Gucci is out of Devi and Nitro. She has her novice trick dog and the first of our dogs to get virtual home manners puppy! We usually just get the virtual home manners adults on our dogs but Kathy is title hungry and this title displays separate on the registered name then the adult replacing it so we are excited to get both of these virtual titles of our young dogs. The adult manners is the next one we want to work on when we have time to film. We are also excited to try dock diving with this girl since she absolutely loves the water. She will make a good career doing schutzhund too we hope. Also we plan many other titles with this special girl.
We will post OFAs once she is old enough for them.
Like I said elsewhere I am behind on rebuilding and updating my site. Any questions feel free to give me a phone call.
